Denim

[hoppyjr]

Raw denim is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. They're incredibly uncomfortable when new and if you wash them they're "ruined". Get a pair that's washed.

gotta agree. I can't quite wrap my head around the "necessity" of wearing the same pair of jeans for months without washing them.

true, my balls would look like two smurfs banging each other from all of the dye

Excellent. Hey, you said you would send my Smurf Porn video back when done with it. Well.....my VHS player is empty....

I love how all of Tellason's product names reference The Clash. One of the most underrated bands of all time.

Just a redneck here. I've got no use for fancy Japanese denim that I can't wash, or have to put in the freezer? Wtf? You city folks. Cinch cowboy jeans for me. Rugged, comfy, and made to wear with my shitkickers.

I'm with you. Good old dark denim and work boots.

Ordered some Gustin denim.

No Japanese denim here but I've been wearing Shrink To Fit Levis for over 15 years. Love them.

I like how one of the first posts on this thread called $100-$200 "mid priced jeans" and nobody questioned it.

DWC Rollers FTW.

I guess I am stuck with you guys.

Levi 501's FTW! Ps, anyone like the shrink to fit? Wanted to try them out but it seems like a lot of work.

Just wash and dry a couple cycles to shrink, then press and hem afterward. They're yours then.

From what I've read, Levi's stores actually used to have a tub of warm water that a customer could sit in with his new jeans on in order to shrink them. The denim world is definitely eccentric (probably no more so than the watch world, but still).

[marchone]

That's a riot but I suppose it could work in a hot tub. But where would you go to drip dry?

[ezcheese]

Yep, raw denim will shed a litte bit of dye when new.
Ed-don't have any experience with Tellason, mainly because they don't do raw denim. Cool guys though, and I do like the way they do things.

Tellason has several lines utilizing Cone Mills sanforized selvedge denim. +1 on Blue Owl - Jay and Kevin are Great to work with. I currently have Unbranded, Nudie, and Eternal in my closet. Most good denim sites, like Blue Owl, are great resources for their sizing data, but i would recommend finding a "denim boutique" or high end department store to try on.

Cone Mills - Greensboro teh good denim.

That's one way. But if you want to maintain the color that raw denim is known for, special care is needed.

It's maintaining the color and also getting the raw denim "fade" that a lot of enthusiasts crave (especially the wear marks at the waist, behind the knees, and on the pockets). Once you put the jeans through the wash, the color sets so that, over time, you get a more uniform fade rather than the lighter and darker spots that the raw denim folks consider more desirable.

I think it's all kind of funny. When my clothing gets dirty, I wash it.
